Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a gas sensor used to detect the presence of gases, such as carbon monoxide.
- the invention is directed to a gas sensor assembly having a housing with a receptacle formed therein, a gas-sensing agent disposed in the receptacle, and a plurality of electrodes disposed in fluid contact with the gas-sensing agent.
- the gas sensor includes a leakage detector, disposed in the housing, which generates a visual indication of leakage upon the gas-sensing agent coming into contact with the leakage detector.
- the leakage detector may comprise a substantially flat sheet impregnated with a material which changes color upon coming into contact with the gas-sensing agent, and the flat sheet may be disposed directly beneath a transparent portion of the gas sensor housing so that the color change is readily apparent.
- the invention is directed to a gas sensor assembly having a housing with a receptacle formed therein, a gas-sensing agent disposed in the receptacle, and a plurality of electrodes disposed in fluid contact with the gas-sensing agent.
- the gas sensor includes a leakage detector in the form of a pair of spaced conductive members associated with the housing, the spaced conductive members being provided adjacent the receptacle.
- the spaced conductive members have a relatively high resistance between them in the absence of gas-sensing agent coming into contact with them and a relatively low resistance between them in the presence of gas-sensing agent coming into contact with them. The change in resistance due to gas-sensing agent leaking from the receptacle and coming into contact with the spaced conductive members can be detected.
- FIGS. 3-6 are various views of a housing portion of the sensor of FIG. 1 in which a receptacle for the storage of a gas-sensing agent is formed;
- FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate the formation of a heat seal utilized in the sensor of FIG. 1;
- a flat circular electrode support element, in the form of a sheet 20, a rubber gasket 22, and a leakage detector in the form of a leakage-indicating sheet 24 are disposed between the housing portion 12 and the cover 16.
- the rubber gasket 22 and the sheet 24 are flat and circular and each have a central hole formed therein in which a small cylindrical filter 26 is disposed.
- the leakage-indicating sheet 24 may be composed of a paper-like substrate, such as Paper No. BSF-65 commercially available from Whatman Specialty Co., impregnated with a conventional agent, such as dimethyl yellow, which changes color (in this case to red) when the gas-sensing agent comes into contact with it. The change in colorcan be viewed through the cover 16, which is formed of a transparent material.
- the cover 16 has an opening or sensing hole 28 formed therein directly above the filter 26 so as to expose the filter 26 to the ambient atmosphere to be sensed by the gas sensor 10.
- the purpose of the filter 26, which may be a rubber charcoal filter, is to prevent certain gases (which are not to be sensed) that may interfere with the sensing of the desired gas(es) from passing into the interior of the sensor 10 where the gas-sensing reaction takes place.
- the electrode support sheet 20 is hydrophobic to prevent the liquid gas-sensing agent from escaping from thesensor 10 via the sensing hole 28 but allows passage there through of the gaseous atmosphere to be sensed.
- the gas sensor 10 includes a wick 30, which may be composed of glass paper,for example.
- the wick 30 includes a first portion, shown horizontally in FIG. 1, which abuts the underside of the electrode support sheet 20 and several portions which extend downwardly into the gas-sensing agent disposed in the receptacle 14.
- the purpose of the wick 30 is to maintain the underside of the electrode support sheet 20 (which has three electrodes formed thereon) in fluid contact with the gas-sensing agent.
- the gas-sensing agent may be a 30% sulfuric acid gel.
- FIG. 3 is a top view of the cup-shaped housing portion 12 having the receptacle 14 formed therein.
- the cup-shaped housing 12 has three conductive housing portions 40, 42, 44, each of which serves as an electrical conductor.
- the three conductive portions 40, 42, 44 are electrically isolated from each other by the remaining non-conductive portions 46 of the housing 12.
- the conductive portion 40 is composed of three portions: an arcuate upper portion 40a having a relatively small radial width, a side portion 40b having a relatively large radial width, and a bottom portion 40c, all three of which are shown in FIG. 4.
- the sideportion 40b acts as a side contact surface at which an electrical connection can be made
- the bottom portion 40c acts as a bottom contact surface at which an electrical connection can be made.
- the shapes of the conductive portions 42, 44 are similar to that of the conductive portion 40 in that they each have an arcuate upper portion (e.g. portion 44a) 42a, 44a having a relatively small radial width, a side portion (e.g.portion 44b) 42b, 44b having a relatively large radial width, and a bottom portion (e.g. portion 44c) 42c, 44c.
- the cup-shaped housing 12 is formed via a conventional dual-injection molding process described as follows. First, the housing 12 without the three conductive portions 40, 42, 44 is injection-molded in a first mold with a non-conductive plastic, such as polypropylene. The result of the first mold will be a housing portion 12 as shown in FIGS. 3-6, but with air being present where the conductive portions 40, 42, 44 are shown. The housing portion 12 is then placed in a second mold, and the conductive portions 40, 42, 44 are injection-molded with a conductive plastic, such as polypropylene having carbon or other conductive fragments melted therein. The result of this conventional dual-molding process is the housing 12 shown in FIGS. 3-6 in which the non-conductive portions 46 and the conductive portions 40, 42, 44 together form a unitary construction.
- a non-conductive plastic such as polypropylene
- the electrode support sheet 20 is forced downwards over the top of the cup-shaped housing 12 by a flat heated platen (e.g. 210° C.)for a predetermined period of time (e.g. five seconds).
- a predetermined period of time e.g. five seconds.
- the meltable member 62 will melt, as shown in FIG. 7B, to form a heat-sealed bond with the electrode support sheet 20.
- the overall shape of the meltable member 62 is circular and since the circular member 62 surrounds the entire outer periphery of the cup-shaped housing 12, a heat-sealed bond is formed about the entire periphery of the housing 12 so that the gas-sensing agent is completely confined within the receptacle 14.
- Teflon material of the electrode support element 20 is bonded directly to the polypropylene plastic of the cup-shaped housing 12, with no conductive potions 40, 42, 44 or 50, 52, 54 coming into contact with the seal. That is advantageous because the heat-sealing of Teflon and polypropylene forms a relatively strong bond, while the presence of conductive portions, such as those formed by platinum powder, may result in a weaker bond.
- the rubber gasket 22, the leakage-indicating sheet 24, and the filter 26 are placed on the electrodesupport sheet 20, and the cover 16 is snap-fit over the assembly and is retained in place by the annular rib 18.
- the vertical location of the rib 18 with respect to the underside of the cover 16 is dimensioned so that, when the cover 16 snap-fit onto the housing portion 12, the underside of the cover 16 exerts a pressure of at least about 20 psi, and preferably about 25 psi, on the electrode support sheet 20, thus ensuring that the conductive portions 50a, 52a, 54a of the electrode support sheet 20 are always in electrical contact with the conductive portions 40a, 42a, 44a ofthe housing 12.
- a constant voltage is placed between the working electrode 50c and the reference electrode 52c via the conductive contact portions 40c and 42c(which are electrically connected to the electrodes 50c, 52c, respectively). Then, upon the presence of the gas being detected through the sensing hole 28, an electrical current will be induced between the working electrode 50c and the counter electrode 54c, which current can be detected and measured by a conventional current sensing circuit attached to the conductive contact portions 40c and 44c (which are electrically connected to the electrodes 50c and 54c).
- FIGS. 8 and 9 A second embodiment of the gas sensor 10 is illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.
- the cup-shaped housing 12 is modified by the addition of two conductive housing portions 70, 72 which together act as asecond type of leakage detector.
- the electrical resistance between those two portions 70, 72 will change from a relatively large value (due to the non-conductive housing portion separating the portions 70, 72) to arelatively small value (since the gas-sensing agent has a relatively low electrical resistance).
- This significant change in resistance can be detected in a conventional manner by a conventional detecting circuit connected to both of the conductive portions 70, 72.
- the conductive portions 70, 72 are formed in the same manner as the conductive portions 40, 42, 44 formed during the dual-injection molding process described above.
